Loved the place, a very nicely designed museum in a very gorgeous looking historical building. It has a total of four floors to visit and we took steps because even they are beautiful. Its wheelchair accessible. Has a cafe and a very pretty gift shop. It has a good amount of seating on every floor a
This is by far the coolest museum in Ottawa.
Probably should have gone during the week, as the place was packed. Doesn't matter though, it was still such an incredible place. Spent over 3 hours wandering the exhibits and was happy to see some of them from childhood are still there!

This museum was fantastic. Spread over 5 floors (including basement), in a historical building. Was beautiful. We gave ourself 2 hours because we thought our 3yr old son wouldn't last longer - but because of all the exhibits and interactive things, we easily could have done 3hours. But if you are ju
The Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa stands as a magnificent tribute to the rich tapestry of Canada’s natural world. With its captivating exhibits, immersive displays, and dedication to education and preservation, the museum has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of scientific exploration
A very well organized museum with tons of displays. On weekends, parking is free on streets around the museum. You can also get an hour of free visit.
Spare around 3+ hours for the visit. Dinosaurs, birds, mammals, earth, sea creatures, bugs, wolves and a lot more to explore.
Overall, a very infor
So many interesting exhibits. Learning about lots of different things. The earth exhibit seemed like it might be boring but it was so interesting seeing all the gems and rocks. A definite must see while in Ottawa
Very cool expositions although since I came there 1 hour 30 minutes before closing, I did not have time to see all. There is a lot of kids there and a lot of it is made for them to understand. If you don't like children, you might be annoyed.
The building itself is amazing and there is information a
This is a really well managed and beautiful museum. If you have kids, this is a must go. They have different sections like fossil, earth, arctic, insects, mammal, pacific water, birds, etc. They have a really huge collection of rocks, minerals, and gems. They have a huge skeleton of Blue Whale.

What an amazing experience for the children! Every floor has something cool and exciting for them to learn. The different games and diplays are great for children of all ages.
We happen to have arrived on a Thursday and were pleasantly surprised that our tickets were free for the evening.
The Museum of Nature is an incredible place to explore and learn about the natural world. The exhibits are well-designed and informative, with interactive displays that engage visitors of all ages. The highlight for me was the dinosaur exhibit, which features life-sized models and fossils that trans
I really liked this museum, and I didn't even know it existed. Came from Montreal to see the tulip festival, and by luck, I decided to have brunch nearby. When I saw I had to stop and visit. Loved it. Well kept place with nice exhibition, not crazy expensive. I enjoyed every minute, and I highly rec
We had a wonderful experience as a family. Lots of interesting and cool things to see and experience. We had a free family pass we got from the library and did a family outing. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.
We went during the Thursday free time (5pm-8pm) and had a great experience. It was busy with lots of families but not too much. The exhibits are really cool and there are multiple floors to explore. We spent 3 hours but we could easily have spent 5 or 6 hours exploring.
The National Art Gallery houses an impressive collection of European artwork that is definitely worth a visit. The interior design of the gallery is simply fantastic, creating a wonderful atmosphere and vibe. If you appreciate art, this is a place you should not miss out on.
What a blast! This museum kept surprising us at each turn! Not enough hours in a day. You could learn so much here. Our family had a blast. We highly recommend it for all ages!
The only problem we encountered was that the food at the cafe is scarce and very expensive.
Fantastic place to visit.. plan to spend 3-4 hours there. For me Dinosaur / mammal exhibit rocks.
Its beautiful, clean and wheelchair accessible. Has a small store as well as a cafeteria.
Weloganite for the win! This museum is a wonderful place for curious kids and adults. We didn't have time to hit all the exhibits but the ones we did see were top notch! Mammals, birds, dioramas, rocks, and minerals!
Water theme exhibition is the most interesting.
In overall it is very good museum with lots of information.
Whale skeleton is real.
Always love this museum. Lots for all ages. Interactive sections for the kids, easy to read information, well laid out, not overly busy on a Saturday. Mostly families. Sometimes children will try to take over what your child is using (with the interactive sections), it can be frustrating but we use
